MGMT, inicialmente conocido como The Management, es una banda estadounidense de rock psicodélico y pop experimental formada en 2002 en Middletown, Connecticut. La agrupación fue creada por Andrew VanWyngarden y Ben Goldwasser, dos amigos universitarios que compartían una profunda pasión por la música y las artes. La conexión entre ambos surgió mientras estudiaban en la Universidad Wesleyan, donde comenzaron a experimentar con diferentes sonidos y conceptos musicales que finalmente desembocarían en lo que hoy conocemos como MGMT.
En 2007, MGMT lanzó su primer álbum de estudio "Oracular Spectacular", el cual fue producido por Dave Fridmann. Este trabajo discográfico los catapultó a la fama internacional con éxitos como “Kids”, “Electric Feel” y “Time to Pretend”. Estas canciones no solo definieron el sonido del álbum, sino que también establecieron a MGMT como una fuerza innovadora y distintiva en el panorama musical. "Oracular Spectacular" recibió la aclamación de la crítica y fue incluido en múltiples listas de mejores discos del año, consolidando a la banda como uno de los actos más prometedores de la década.
El segundo álbum de la banda, "Congratulations", fue lanzado en 2010 y se distinguió por su variación respecto al primer disco. En esta ocasión, MGMT optó por un sonido más complejo y experimental, alejándose un poco del pop accesible que caracterizaba a "Oracular Spectacular". A pesar de su naturaleza menos comercial, "Congratulations" ganó elogios de la crítica por su audacia y creatividad.

Hi Andrew and Ben. This is Matthew Dear
Hi Matthew
I want to remix your album
OK, go ahead
[Robotic voice #2]
Pause for response
I said, are you ready, to, continue, having a good time?
Pause for response
Excellent. I was hoping you would say that
[Robotic voice #1]
Seriously, can you imagine where this intro would be if you had answered otherwise?
[Robotic voice #2]
While I may sound present, I am in fact not. I am not here. I am a distant glitch, in a browser. Just a bunch of zeroes and ones
[Robotic voice #1]
Wow. Pause for sadness
This introduction has gone completely sideways. I guess I will let you get back to the dancing
[Robotic voice #2]
Prepare to hear some really really really really really really really really really really really really good music. And remember, as always, no photos, dancing, requests, autographs, dancing, requests, trainspotting, talking, laughing, coughing, sneezing, excessive looking, [Extremely loud noise]-ing, proliferating, chafing, incubating, meditating, commentating...
[Robotic voice #1]
Wager waging at. [?] Ooh, clapping. Okay, awesome. Here we go
[Woman's Voice]
Get ready to have some fun!
Alright, here we go!
Five, four, three, two, and one
Are you ready to work out?
[Verse 1]
Don't take it the wrong way
I can never keep up
Sick of liking your selfies
Should've gone with my gut
Maybe I'm in a movie
Maybe I'm out to lunch
But I'm constantly swiping it and tapping
It's never relaxing, I need a new routine
[Chorus]
(He's trying)
(She works out too much)
The only reason we never worked out was
He didn't work out
(He's trying)
(She works out too much)
The only reason we never worked out was
He didn't work out enough
(He's trying)
[Woman's Voice]
Let's move on to the next step
[Robotic voice #2]
No, I do not want to work out. Really, you are working out a lot. More than anyone I know. This probably isn't going to work out
You work out, too much
[Verse 2]
Welcome to the shitshow
Grab a comfortable seat
Find me in the front row
Facing the music, anyone can see
[Chorus]
(He's trying)
(She works out too much)
(She works out too much I know)
The only reason we never worked out was
He didn't work out
